Upup Precise 5.4.X.5 has been uploaded. I use latest woof available with updates. This version has fixes at the time of 5.4.2.2. service pack. Upup Precise has some enhancements compared to official release. Xchat, Uget coupled with aria2c, Pmusic, laptop tools, acpi stuff, xbindkeys for keybinding.

The kernel is official PAE kernel. Acpi_call and rtl2832u (dvb-usb) driver has been added ( thanks 666philb ).

In this latest release I have swapped Aqualung with tray app enabled version (thanks Billtoo), there is wrapper script so that only one tray app will appear, Pmusic-3.0.6 ( with all dependencies ), ffconvert with latest fix for spaces in names, gtkdialog 0.8.3 revision 493, which will probably be the next stable version.
Pburn, Pschedule updated ( thanks Zigbert ), funny rox-clock ( you can drag it to the Pinboard, thanks Jamesbond).
Fixed version of pdvdrsab ( thanks Thunor and Peebee ).

Last but not the least is the new Frisbee - dhcpcd - sns integrated network manager-connectivity framework, created by rerwin, using Jemimah`s work, existing puppy scripts with modifications. Peebee has been active tester and he has given a lot feedback everywhere where it has been needed. Thanks to both of them.
Thunor has given valuable feedback of the gtkdialog components.

Please give feedback about network connectivity, switching between Frisbee and SNS, stabillity etc...
As Peebee posted previously, there is still probably minor bugs.

Rerwin also patched dhcpcd 5.6.4 ( latest version ) with dropwait patch so that the connection should be better with poor signal.

It does not install a menu entry or a .desktop file, but does run by clicking on vlc in /usr/bin

I'm seeing a similar problem with the Graphic menu. PETS like this one that are classified as X-GraphicUtility are no longer added to the menu. But pre-installed apps that use that category are working.

I believe that it is a woof issue because it also showed up in the final version of Precise.

You were right about those missing things. I must have had mini-stroke. I have missed the /usr/share folder totally. I am amazed it did even work with gui. The vlc pet has been fixed and uploaded. I did add libdvbpsi also. I pondered should I, or just make dependency marking to the pet specs file, but....since I havent activated that repo in PPM, I decided to add that lib to the pet. I havent encountered the need of that lib with other applications. Mplayer, Smplayer and Umplayer stream ok without it. So I suppose mostly vlc needs it and can be in the pet included.
But hey, stream support is there ! and dvb-tuner support...and subtitles support. It was combined effort of Billtoo and me to get vlc compile ok in Precise. Billtoo did the hard work, I just gave comments behind the shoulder.

Thanks of the feedback. Just the kind of feedback so far I really need !!!

Hi pemasu,
I was going to ask you a question in another thread about transplanting some settings from Precise to Exprimo. And here you come with your own Precise puppy. Feels fast and smooth so far. I'd like to install firefox on this one, have found it in the repository but it is i386 - is there an i686 edition for this puppy? And here's how the desktop looks on my netbook. The background is lightgrey from the original Precise. Actually all my puppies use it. For some reason, they dislike wallpapers and treat bright colors on a desktop with extreme prejudice

I have reuploaded Upup Precise 54X2 with these initial fixes. I also did update Uget and compiled latest aria2. Uget can use it to download torrent files. You just need to activate aria2 plugin in Uget.

I hacked Lazy Fred Repository Downloader to just download different Precise compatible sources, also my pet_packages-upup repo. I changed the name to the Precise Repository Downloader. Amazing scripts. I hunted about 10 gtk-* icons to get it looking ok in Precise. Thanks RSH.

Cups fixed, cups_shell changed and so on....

Anikin. Firefox-16.0.2 i686 build is now also in the repo. I have to admit I like Firefox more than Seamonkey, so having Firefox in the repo was pleasant addition.

Thanks 01micko for the reminder about the sys-info-1.4.2-noarch.pet. Vague memories of recent posts about it, but I seem to have a mind "like a sponge." I've used that phrase to mean what it should. It seems to have crept into the language, meaning just the opposite. Sponges have no nervous system at all: ergo neither memory nor ability to think. Unless, of course, having a "mind like a sponge," I've mis-recollected that factoid.

Exploring precise sfs downloader, I noticed gimp-2.8.2.-precise.sfs and decided to see if it solved the problem I previously posted about 2.8 in the thread of another precise-pup. No go from menu. Browsed into /usr/bin and tried to start it via the terminal.
It reports an error shown in the attached jpg.
As I also previously mentioned gimp-2.7.2.sfs runs on all precise pups.
